Time 1h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
2 cups tomato sauce
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 cups thinly sliced zucchini
2 cups crispy tortilla strips
1 ½ cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles, drained
1 cup sour cream, or to taste
3 medium green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Oil a 9x13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil.
  • Combine tomato sauce, chili powder, tomato paste, vinegar, cumin, salt, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper in a medium saucepan over high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add zucchini, cover, and steam until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Add tortilla strips, 3/4 cup Mexican cheese, corn, and green chiles. Toss lightly to combine, then spoon into the prepared baking dish. Spread tomato mixture over top and top with remaining cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 30 minutes.
  • Spread sour cream over top and sprinkle with green onions. Serve immediately.
